Description
Montenotte House, built 1832 is one of the most historic homes in Cork city. Just off Lovers Walk, the southerly views from the triple bay fronted home are spectacular, taking in large stretches east and west of The River Lee.
Once home to Cork's merchant princes, Montenotte is one of the most affluent areas of Cork city known for its Georgian and Victorian architecture, perfect for a blend of city living with a more relaxed and upmarket atmosphere. Just off Lover's Walk this wonderful homes sits on a stunning and immaculately kept site.
The triple arched modest front facade with Georgian hall door gives only a hint of what you might find behind. Stepping in to the entrance hall, you immediately realise this one is special. Struck by an abundance of archways, corniced ceilings, this double height entrance features a wide staircase with solid wood balustrade and iron spindles leads down to the hallway at upper ground level where two beautifully proportioned rooms featuring marble fireplaces and original ornate cornicing are located. The family room has an original glazed door access to the garden. Also on this level is the kitchen with south facing views over the stunning gardens and the southern city suburbs.
